Im still off, cant remember ever taking a whole week off sick but I think its going to happen. Ive been sick for a few days before and taken a week just for the sake of it but never actually been sick for a week.
I was off last month for a week through food poisoning. Bloody hate taking time off as we dont get paid when off sick which is a bummer!!

I used to work at Orange many years ago and they had a great policy which paid sick days, in fact ya were paid a max of 21 sick days per year. Well that was open to abuse I can tell ya. Not only did ya get 4 weeks hols a year but a further 21 days Sick!
